Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Radar cross-section (RCS) measurement for an electrically large object is often difficult owing to the spatial limitation of the measurement facilities. To overcome this problem, several types of near-field-to-far-field transformation (NFFFT) techniques have been proposed until today. Among these algorithms, image-based NFFFT is a well-established method because of its simplicity and transformation accuracy. In this report, we deal with the image-based NFFFT using 3-D synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging with an arbitrary antenna scanning surface. We experimentally validate the algorithm using experimental data taken in an anechoic chamber, where a scaled metallic aircraft model is employed for this measurement.
